Prisma

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Hello Everyone,

I am translating a service order from an auto repair shop in Brasília. The vehicle was damaged in an accident and needed some bodywork and other repairs. In the box where the estimator's name is given the word "prisma" appears followed by a colon. This is not a Chevy Prism, or "Prisma" as it is known in Brazil. The car is another make. The word is just on their standard form with no other context. What could "prisma" mean in this situation?

Many thanks in advance!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

There's a bodyshop in Brasilia with this name:

PRISMA LANTERNAGEM E PINTURA

Could it be this one ?
